TAKE THE 2021 SOF Imperatives Survey
The results of the 2021 SOF Imperatives Survey will inform the content of the Global SOF Foundation's 2021 Imperatives for Special Operations Forces (SOF).
This document is then used to educate U.S. policymakers on the needs of and issues facing U.S. SOF–making the responses to this survey very important.
We're calling on current and recently separated U.S. SOF to take this survey and tell us what is important to the Force.
What are the SOF Imperatives?
Global violent extremism and near-peer threats are increasing against a backdrop of U.S. Department of Defense budget pressure and political polarization in Washington, D.C. It is more vital than ever to educate our political leaders on the pivotal role of U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) as an essential tool in combating these national security threats.
The Global SOF Foundation develops an annual Imperatives for SOF platform document to support this education.
